SOAR’s Writing for Healing Workshops

for incarcerated and returning citizens

SOAR’s Writing for Healing Workshops for incarcerated and returning citizens. The increased rate of recidivism is directly linked to insufficient educational and mental health tools. Therefore, there are a significant number of the incarnated populations who will rejoin the mainstream society only to return because they have not been given the tools to access their root issues that go beyond living in poverty. The problems they encounter to become self-sufficient are significant. If youth offenders are not given the proper tools to assess the behavior responsible for their incarceration, they are doomed to repeat their mistakes. Using SOAR’s Writing for Healing workshop model to assist incarcerated youth will involve a two- prong approach that includes attacking literacy issues by using SOAR’s workbook along with its Writing for Healing curriculum. This is important because the current model for the justice system does not successfully rehabilitate the mass numbers of its clients.
